Working Women Organizing.


The movement to organize the work
ing women of Boston, inaugurated by
the Boston Woman Suffrage League
took shape on Thursday evening,
August IL, in public meeting AT
Wells Memorial Hail. under the au-
spices Of the Central Labor Union.
This movement for working women
II judiciously managed, may achieve
important results. In Massachusete
there are more than two hundred thou
sand women who earn their support
by work outside Of their own house, AZ
less than one-half the average rate OF
wages paid to men. In Boston alone
there are twenty thousand women en-
ployed in shops and stores at from TWO
to four dollars per week. II is my"
time that these women should organ
inc for mutual help and proteetion'
"The gods help those who help them
selves" and those "who would be freo
themselves must strike the blow"
The fundamental obstacle to fai' pay
for women is the fact Of their disfrah-
chisement. Growing out OF this, Tue
greatest practical difficulty is thci,
want of special skill aud technical
training. Women are almost wholly
excluded from instruction In trades anu
handicrafts by custom and prc1u"'cs'

Among the callers at the White House at
the MONDAY reception on Thursday was a
distinguished foreigner who brought with
him one of the 1argest-size photographs of
Mrs. Cleveland, representing her in a din
nor dress of black silk with corsage and
front draperies of jetted net. This picture
the visitor showed 20 Mrs. Cleveland with
the request that she write her autograph
on the lower margin, as he wished to carry
it across tho ocean with him to present to
the Queen ofItaly. When informed of his
intention Mrs. Cleveland said she did not
consider the photograph by any means the
best, that her preference was for the one
taken in a white dress with scarf drapery
of pearl-beaded tulle extending from the
left shoulder across the bosom to the right
side at the waist line. The visitor said he
would also procure copy of that picture
and would then carry both of them abroad,
one as representing to best advantage her
handsome figure, the other her beautiful
facs.-1he Capital.

Our New Orleans correspondent
suggests the maine of Judge A. B.
George for Governor Of the State, and
expresses the opinion that Judge
George would make one Of the best
Governors the State could get. We
would not think Of joining issue with
our correspondent on this point. We
cheerfully concede the pre-. eminent
ability of Judge George and his sup
erior qualifications. There is no shadow
of doubt that he ia one of the purest
meu in the State; and ability and
purity are a considerable part of the
qualities necessary to make good
Governor. We know of no man in
the State we could more heartily and
cordially support than Judge George

GALVESTON, September GO. B. White,
druggist, about 36 years of age, was found
dead this evening in his room at the Ed
mondson house. Indications point to
suicide by the use of some fatal drug.
Deceased was native of Charleston, s.
c., where he leaves numerous wealthy
relatives. The body was taken to an un-
dertaker's establishment, and will be
buried at the expense of the county unless
his friends are heard from tomorrow.
White worked for several months in Fort
Worth and Sherman, and at the time of his
death was clerkipg for T. W. Tarrant q
Co., on Market street. The causes i'm
polling him to self destruction are un-
known, unless it be his poverty.

opened the dancing season tonight at

mentary to Miss Otis, the handsome
daughter of Col. Otis, commander of the

GERS from San Antonio and other points

participated in the entertainment. The
music for the occasion was furnished by

brilliant success in every respect.

Oldest house in the city, established in

have established a reputation for honesty,
integrity, reliability and business quail
ties, which renders their present misfor-

them the hearty sympathies of the entire
community. They have not grown rich
during these years, but have simply paid
expenses. Their manner of Lying, as
well as doing business, disarms all
criticism, and only deep expressions of
regret are heard on all sides. Taking
great pride in their business, they have
always kept large stock, and this drouth,
three years of drouth has proved heavy
drought upon their resources. There is a
very general and earnest wish expressed

be but temporary, and that the firm
which is so well and favorably known
in western Texas, may soon be able to

Bloody Tragedy and Shooting
Affray in New Mexico.
Two Persons Killed.
The Anarchist Cases Drawing to
Decision by the Illinois
Supreme Court.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, September Ga
desperate shooting affray occurred last
night at Holbrook, Arizona, in which Andy
Cooper and half brother named Samuel
Blevens were killed by the sheriff, and
John BleYens and Nose Brothers wounded
Sheriff Owens learned that the four men
had arrived in Holbrook, and with Win.
chester he started alone to arrest the des-
peradoes. Arriving at the house he
knocked, and upon the door being opened
by Andy Cooper, the only reply he re-
ceived was bullet, which passed through
the sheriff's coat without injury. The fire
was returned and Cooper fell dead. The
shooting became general. Owens took q
position at window, shooting all three
men inside. Samuel Blevens, one of the
killed, is a boy IA years old, but fully al
desperate as his older companions.
